Bromoacetonitrile – General Information
Bromoacetonitrile is a highly reactive organobromine compound widely used in organic synthesis. Its dual functional groups, bromine, and nitrile, make it an essential building block in the production of more complex molecules, especially in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Due to its reactive nature, Bromoacetonitrile is particularly useful in nucleophilic substitution reactions and serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of a variety of organic compounds.
